My experience with Apple headphones, especially the specific pair I recently bought, has been excellent. They are very convenient to use and easy to locate if misplaced. The sound quality is clear and powerful, providing an enjoyable listening experience. Another thing I appreciate is that they don’t cause any discomfort to my ears, even after wearing them for long periods. I can exercise comfortably while wearing them, knowing they will stay secure and not fall out. Even when I am on a plane, I feel confident that I won’t lose them. Overall, Apple headphones are comfortable, reliable, and deliver outstanding sound quality, which is why I like them so much.

The airpods which i bought are apple’s wired EarPods are a reliable and thoughtfully designed set of headphones that continue to deliver excellent daily performance. The sound quality is clear and well-balanced, offering crisp highs, warm mids, and a satisfying bass response that make them enjoyable for music, calls, and podcasts alike.
Their ergonomic design ensures a comfortable fit for most ears, even during long listening sessions, and the lightweight build makes them easy to wear throughout the day. The in-line remote is a convenient touch, allowing quick control of volume, music playback, and calls without needing to reach for the phone.
Durability is another strong point. The build feels sturdy for wired headphones, and they hold up well with regular use. Pairing them with Apple devices is seamless, as they connect instantly and work flawlessly without the need for charging or wireless setup.
Overall, the Apple EarPods remain a dependable choice for anyone who values clear audio, comfort, and simple functionality. They are a classic accessory that continues to provide great value.

Best sounding/durable/loud earbuds for under $20

I have an android and will never stop using wired apple ear pods for many reasons. 1 being the price. $20 and these earbuds are fantastic for decent quality music that I can use for months and get another pair. I tried so many other brands most costing double even tripple than the apple earpods will run you. Every skullcandy or jbl or beats for corded usb c never fit right, sounds cheap and costs way more. If you want amazing customizable earbuds with extra bass or whatever, these arent for you. These are for the every day working people who want a great sounding, wired earbud without spending 1,2,3,$400 on one with slightly better features than the less expensive ones. I had apple earpods my whole life and wanted to see what could compete with them to change it up, so now you dont have to waste your time and money! Jlab buds pro for $30, but cant fit in the ear correctly and sometimes one bud wouldn't work and they were easily crushed by apple. Next i tried the belkon sound form at the same $20 for apple. They fit great. They dont sound as crip and clear as apple though and ear fatigue set on rather fast. Then they broke 1 week 4 days after the first use. Never happened to apple and my experience. Last on this competition list was the sony ex15c wired earbuds. For $30 dollars these buds are decent sounding and fit mostly snug. Volume is low though. So i still say apple is the best choice for quality earpods without paying more money and getting a cheaper product. From an android user, the earbud/airpod selection from apple will always be better than anything samsung can do (and im samsung biased) but will say if youre on the fence, these apple earpods are the best quality for a price that beats the competition.

I’ve been using these earpods for a couple of weeks, and I’m genuinely impressed! The sound quality is crisp and well-balanced, with deep bass and clear highs, perfect for everything from music to podcasts. They connect quickly and reliably via Bluetooth, and I’ve had zero dropouts or issues.
Comfort-wise, they fit snugly in my ears without any discomfort, even during longer use or workouts. The noise isolation is surprisingly effective too, even without active noise cancellation. Battery life is great. I get hours of playback on a single charge, and the charging case tops them off super fast.
Overall, these earpods are a great value for the price. Whether you're commuting, exercising, or just chilling at home, they’re a solid choice. Highly recommend!

One of the best things about these simple earphones is that, it not just works with Apple product, but with anything USB-C. Having said that, it did NOT work with my Surface Duo phone, but works great with other android devices (despite apple not mentioning this on their website description). Apple has reduced the thickness of the cable; I doubt if this is still as strong and long-lasting as the original 3.5mm earphones. I miss the plastic cases that apple used to sell their earphones in (reusing this case from older earphones). Overall, a decent apple product that works with many USB-C ports for Mac, PC, iPhones and Androids. Kudos apple, hope you continue this path.

Wired headphones

Wired Apple Headphones
The Wired Apple EarPods are a classic choice for anyone seeking a simple, functional, and reasonably priced pair of headphones. While they’re no longer the flagship offering from Apple, they still hold their ground in terms of quality and reliability.
Design & Comfort
The EarPods have a clean, minimalistic design that aligns with Apple’s aesthetic. The ergonomic shape of the earbuds is designed to fit comfortably in most ears. They’re lightweight and secure, making them suitable for extended use without significant discomfort. However, fit can vary depending on ear shape—some users may find them slightly loose.
Sound Quality
For their price, the EarPods deliver impressive audio performance. The sound is well-balanced, with clear mids and highs. Bass response is decent, though it might not satisfy audiophiles or bass-heavy music enthusiasts. They excel in clarity for podcasts, calls, and casual music listening, but they lack the depth and richness of more premium headphones.
Microphone & Controls
The inline remote and microphone are standout features, especially for calls or voice commands. The mic delivers clear audio during conversations, and the remote allows for easy volume control, track skipping, and call management. It’s an excellent addition for those who prioritize hands-free functionality.
Durability
While the EarPods are well-built, the cable can feel slightly flimsy. Prolonged use, especially with regular tangling or rough handling, may lead to fraying or internal wire damage. For casual, everyday use, they hold up fine, but they’re not the most rugged option on the market.
Compatibility
The standard 3.5mm jack version is versatile, working with most devices that have a headphone port. However, for Apple devices without a headphone jack, the Lightning connector version is available. That said, users may find themselves frustrated if they frequently switch between devices with different connectors.
Verdict
The Wired Apple EarPods remain a reliable option for those who value simplicity, solid sound quality, and compatibility with Apple products. They’re a practical choice for casual users or as a backup pair of headphones. However, they fall short if you’re seeking premium sound or durability. For their price point, though, they’re hard to beat.

I purchased my Apple AirPods Pro essentially because I got tired of using the old wired Ear Buds and I’m sure glad I did!
The sound quality and comfort that my Air Pods provide is phenomenal . The battery life is excellent. I no longer have the hassle of my old wired ear phones getting all tangled up when I took them off.
I purchased my Air Pods with (Best Buy Plus) which gives members access to upgraded free 2-day shipping, exclusive access to member-only deals, access to launch events, and an extended 60-day return/exchange window on most products. I am extremely satisfied with the purchase of My Apple Air Pods.

Nothing beats a good pair of Apple EarPods wired. I own many pair of wireless headphones wireless earbuds. I always find myself coming back to the Apple AirPods when I’m traveling it’s just nice to have them with the wire. I find out the microphone works better. You just have to talk directly into it and for 1999 you really can’t beat that price. I’ve owned many a pair of these and always come back for more.

I recently bought the Apple EarPods (USB‑C) and I’m impressed with how well they deliver for such a low price. The wired connection is convenient, and they work flawlessly with my USB-C devices plug-and-play, no pairing headaches. The sound is decent for everyday listening (podcasts, music, calls), and the built-in remote/mic makes managing calls and volume simple and intuitive. Compared to wireless earbuds, you don’t have to worry about batteries they’re ready whenever you are.

I’ve been using the Apple USB-C wired EarPods for a while now, and honestly, they’re a solid choice if you’re looking for reliable wired headphones. The sound quality is very clear, with balanced bass and crisp highs, especially for the price. They work great for music, videos, calls, and even gaming.

Works as expected. Use it solely to listen to online videos, so can’t comment on use for phone calls. The fit is fine, but obviously not as secure/fitted as AirPods. But my main reason for getting it was the ability to plug into new devices that have usb-c and replace my old lightning connection headphones. A little more expensive than some other options, but the price was worth it for me to guarantee no problems using with Apple devices.

These earbuds saved my life on a cross-country trip, where I needed both bluetooth and wired earbuds. They sounds great, no loose connection and overall great design. Only issue I had is one of the earbuds is bigger than one of my earholes. But that is a personal issue, nothing related to the product.
